The Friday five : random thoughts

1. My boys. Y’all. I seriously can’t with these two, they are at that amazing age before tantrums and attitudes start, and are just the SWEETEST. Of course, there’s times where they don’t listen and drive me bonkers…but, mostly…they melt me. Their sweet little voices and hugs and kisses are the BEST. Just last night we overheard the following convo through the monitor: Graham was kinda whimpering for mama….(which is actually VEREY unusual when we put them to bed…G normally goes straight to sleep and T will talk to himself for 15-20 minutes)…but, last night G was crying out for me and …

T goes: “Gahm, you awright, Gahm? You cwying for mama” ?

G: “yeah toyas (how he says Thomas)” “I want mama”

T: “it’s okay Gahm…I cwied at pweeschool”

I mean for real?! How stinkin’ cute. They have really started to love each other and get annoyed with each other! They are best friends, but so different. They are definitely starting to fight over toys and stuff, but then they’ll turn around and hug and my heart can’t handle it.

2. And don’t even get me started on Collins, I cannot get over how big/old she is now. She’s totally starting to get annoyed with her brothers sometimes, but mostly, is still their biggest protector and LOVES on them hard. She’s a whiny diva one minute and then the next is sweet as sugar. This age isn’t my favorite as far as the whining, I’ve heard a lot of people have issues around the 3-5 age with that…so I’m ready for that to be over, but otherwise Collins is still the sweetest little girl and is finally coming out of her shy shell… she’s learning new things every second at preschool and it’s amazing to watch. I’m so proud of her.

3. I think I’m almost done stocking up on fall/winter clothes for the kids. Lordy mercy it takes time and money! Mikey likes to politely remind me of that anytime I talk about wanting another baby! Ha! For real though, kids are expensive.

4. Speaking of having more babies, so many of my best friends are pregnant right now (or about to be). It makes it THAT much harder having baby fever. Gonna be lots of new baby besties next spring and summer. I can’t wait!

5. We have lots of fun, fall activities planned for this weekend. High school football, pumpkin patch, BOO at the ZOO…just to name a few. Looking forward to it!

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more! This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun! (and extra chaos of course, too!) We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing. We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom. We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME! We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome! We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball! My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!! Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer. I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies. Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long. (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together. We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball! That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun! Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
